			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.ghacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/windows_software.jpg" alt="windows software" title="windows software" width="128" height="128" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-16120" />Computer virus attacks on a computer system can sometimes have undesired side effects that make it harder for the computer user to remove the computer virus effectively. This includes disabling the Windows Task Manager, Windows Registry or the command line tool. These effects are sometimes still in place after cleaning the computer virus, trojan or malicious software program from the computer system.</p>
<p>Enter Re-Enable, a portable software program for the Windows operating system that can enable several disabled core functions of the Windows operating system. Re-enable can currently enable the following Windows functions if they have been disabled by a computer virus (or other program or effect).</p>
<p><span id="more-16239"></span>
<ul>
<li>Windows Registry</li>
<li>Command Line Tool</li>
<li>Windows Task Manager</li>
<li>System Restore Config</li>
<li>Folder Options</li>
<li>Run command</li>
</ul>
<p>The program will display all support functions in its interface. All are checked by default and a click on the Enable button will enable these again. Nothing will happen if they are already enabled.  Users who only want to enable a specific function can uncheck the other options in the interface easily.</p>

<p>Windows Vista and <a href="http://windows7news.com/">Windows 7</a> users need admin rights to use the software program. The software program is also compatible with Windows XP. It can be downloaded from <a href="http://www.softpedia.com/get/PORTABLE-SOFTWARE/System/Re-Enable-Portable.shtml">Softpedia</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Computer Virus Effect Remover is a helpful software program for the Windows operating system after an infection with malicious software like a virus, trojan or worm has occurred. It can be used to remove various effects of those malicious programs.</p>
<p>The Open Source software can aid the user in removing effects from the Windows file system and the Windows Registry. One of the main functions of it is that it can re-enable access to the Windows Taskmanager, Registry Editor, MSconfig and the Process List.</p>
<p>Other options include process details that can be used to kill any running process including files that are currently in use by it. These processes and files can be added to a blacklist so that they will not be executed anymore even if they try to do so automatically.</p>
<p><span id="more-9864"></span><img src="http://www.ghacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/computer_virus_effect_remover-500x460.jpg" alt="computer virus effect remover" title="computer virus effect remover" width="500" height="460" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-9865" /></p>
<p>The program provides additional options to create or restore a Registry backup, check system files and to repair AutoRun options.</p>
<p>Virus Effect Remover can be a helpful program to remove traces of malicious software. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.quttera.com/download.php">Quttera</a> is not your usual computer virus protection program. It will only protect the computer from viruses spread in multimedia or data files including but not limited to audio, video or text files. Probably the most interesting aspect of Quttera besides its concentration on multimedia and data files is the without relying on virus signatures. A fully heuristic detection process is the result.</p>
<p>The computer virus protection program becomes available after installation. It protects the computer by running in the background and by providing the means to scan a file or folder for malicious code.</p>
<p>The current release of Quttera is available in version 0.2.1.0.34 which indicates that this is more of a work in progress instead of a release version. The developers see their computer virus protection software as a addition to standard virus protection programs. </p>
<p><span id="more-8702"></span><img src="http://www.ghacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/computer_virus_protection-500x311.jpg" alt="computer virus protection" title="computer virus protection" width="500" height="311" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-8703" /></p>
<p>Users who want to perform a manual scan should make sure to have at least one multimedia file or data file in the folder. The scan will jam if no files are found in the selected folder.</p>
<p>The main question is obviously if Quttera is able to deliver what it promises. It really depends on the quality of the heuristic engine and how it compares to the heuristic engine of the regular antivirus software.</p>
